Galicians (Galician: galegos [ɡaˈleɣʊs] or pobo galego; Spanish: gallegos [ɡaˈʎeɣos]) are an ethnic group primarily residing in Galicia, northwest Iberian Peninsula. Historical emigration resulted in populations in other parts of Spain, Europe, and the Americas. Galicians possess distinct customs, culture, language, music, dance, sports, art, cuisine, and mythology.
Galician, a Romance language derived from the Latin of ancient Roman Gallaecia, is their native language and a primary cultural expression, sharing a common origin with Portuguese. They are closely related to the Portuguese people.
